About the author

Introduction

What this book is about

If you read the first book in this series, Led by Light: How to develop your intuitive mediumship abilities, Book 1, you learned about the foundation of modern mediumship: all the things you need to know in order to begin unfolding safely and enjoyably. As you continue this journey, remember the process is supposed to feel good and enrich your life.

By learning how to set your intention and ground yourself and by establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries, you skip right past any fear and uncertainty of connecting with Spirit and those beings in the Spirit world. Developing a meditation practice and raising your vibration then helps you get clarity in your life, as well as receiving clear information from Spirit. Which then naturally moves into developing your intuition and establishing a connection with Spirit and your Spirit guides. After that, you can begin understanding the meaning of the symbols and messages you receive.

This second volume in the series will take you even further in developing your intuitive mediumship skills. To do so, this book is organized into four parts.

After this first brief introductory section, I’ll give you a refresher on some of the basics, just to make sure you're good and grounded and feeling in control.

Following the basics, is a section on mental mediumship, the predominant form of mediumship practiced today. This comprises the bulk of this book and focuses developing your intuitive or psychic senses—claircognizance, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairgustance, clairalience and clairsentience.

The fourth section covers receiving and giving messages, how to interpret the messages, sensations and information you receive from Spirit, and the elements that go into good message work.

In its original edition, the last part of the book had a section on physical mediumship. However, in this edition, I’ve separated the two books into their own volumes. You can read all about physical mediumship in my book Spirit Energy.

Mediumship isn’t for everyone, but I encourage people to develop intuition and mediumship abilities, especially if you have them lying latent or they are uncontrolled. Learning to safely trust your intuition and inner self gives you power over your own life and path. It puts you in the driver's seat of your life and allows you to access information for your and others’ highest good.

Whether you choose to use your abilities as a working professional medium, within your church or spiritual center, to share with your family and friends, or simply as a source of clear information for your own life, learning about your abilities and how to work with them is the first step.

Who am I?

That's a good question.

I'm a professional Spiritualist intuitive medium and ordained minister. I have years of experience offering mediumship readings on a professional level, during private readings, private gatherings and public events. I have a strong connection with intuition and intuitively feel the energy of situations as a tangible thing.

I studied with the National Spiritualist Association of Churches to learn mediumship, spiritual healing and ministerial skills and became an ordained minister in 2007. I'm also a credentialed Certified Medium through the National Spiritualist Association of Churches, since 2006. Since then, I've taught mediumship and intuition development through books, classes, workshops, one-on-one mentoring and private sessions. I'm also a Reiki Master in the Usui tradition.

I continue to grow and learn in my spiritual practice and walk my talk with all the integrity and honesty I can muster. I encourage people to listen to their inner voice and go with the truth that resonates with them. Even if that differs from what I have to say.

As I walk my personal spiritual path, I'm drawn to connecting people with their inner divinity and connection with Spirit. Everyone has a connection with Spirit, although some are more aware of it than others. My goal, at this point in my life, is to help people who feel a connection with Spirit, who think they have mediumship or intuitive abilities, to develop them in a safe, healthy, comfortable way.

I believe in living a balanced life, where I can be my authentic self and share the gifts I have to offer during this lifetime, while also having a family, career and healthy body. You can integrate your own gifts into your life to enhance your experience on this Earth, your connection with Spirit and your higher self, and live a more empowered, richer, fuller life.

A refresher on the basics

A few terms defined

Before we get too far into things, let's go over a few key terms that I'll use throughout the book.

Spirit

I use the term Spirit as an all-encompassing word that refers to the energy of all that is. Everything in this universe is made of energy, vibrating at different frequencies. You can use whatever name you like for that energy: God, Spirit, Infinite Intelligence, chi, life force. I call it Spirit. Spirit is conscious and intelligent, although not in the way humans are a conscious and intelligent life form. Spirit is benevolent and wants your highest good to unfold and will support you on that path.

Spirit encompasses all of us—you and me, our loved ones and ancestors, all of life. So, connecting with Spirit and communication from Spirit can mean tapping into the energy of life and its beings, as well as connecting with your own higher self or the specific frequencies of your loved ones.

Mediumship

Led by Light, Book 1 has a detailed explanation of mediumship, what it is and how it works. The abridged version is that mediumship is the ability and method of connecting to the specific frequencies of loved ones in the non-physical realm.

Intuition

Intuition is your direct connection with your higher self. Through intuition you can access information for your highest good, in whatever aspect of your life it needs to manifest: your health, work, relationships, home, family, etc. Your intuition is an amazing source of information and connection with Spirit.

I believe that developing your intuition is the best way to begin developing your mediumship abilities because it helps you clear up your issues, unhealed wounds and limiting beliefs, which then helps you connect more clearly with Spirit through mediumship.

––––––––

Spirit guides

Referring once more to Led by Light, Book 1, there’s a chapter on Spirit guides. What we most commonly refer to as Spirit guides are really aspects of your higher self that take on archetypal characters so that you can better connect with them and develop a relationship with them. There are other non-physical beings that work with people here on Earth in physical form—some people call these angels, archangels or ascended masters. Our loved ones in Spirit also, at times, stay closely connected with us in a way that is very guide-like. But they aren't your Spirit guides.

Your guides' purpose is to help you learn and grow, while protecting you and helping you heal whatever it is that you may have to heal in your life. As facets of your divine self, they are devoted to your highest good.

Getting to know your Spirit guides and developing a relationship with them is essential in moving forward on your mediumship path.

Grounding

Before you work on developing your intuitive mediumship abilities, make sure you're well-grounded in this world.

Spending time connected with Spirit energy is wonderful. You get to see, feel and understand things that are amazing and astounding. As you work with folks in Spirit and talk to them, they'll show you what life is like after physical death and how it all works. It's truly enlightening and uplifting. However, you live here, in the physical plane, and need to make sure you stay solidly connected to it and well grounded.

Actively working on getting and staying grounded and attuned to this physical
